By Water: The Felix Manz Story
by Jason Landsel, Richard Mommsen, Sankha Banerjee
challenging
informative
slow-paced
Thank you to Plough Publishing (via NetGalley) for the ARC.
Some stories aren't meant for graphic novel form, and I think this is one of them. I think there was just too much backstory missing for this particular story to make sense in this format. Or for it to have been more successful, the book probably should have been twice as long. There was a lot going on here, but it seemed like it was all glossed over for the sake of brevity, and I think the book suffered as a result because everything seemed a little disjointed. I admire the attempt, but I think it missed the mark.
